Today was a VERY exhilarating day!!
We went to the Giant’s Causeway! (Aka, the place where they did the photo shoot for Houses of the Holy, 1973)
And if that isn’t cool enough, I actually FOUND the exact spot where the cover photo was taken!! I’m still freaking out. With out further ado, here’s the photos:
But album covers aside, the Giant’s Causeway is a crystal clear example of how incredible nature is:

Doane rock! The largest aboveground erratic in Cape Cod! It was moved south from the Mass Bay region & deposited here some 18,000 years ago!
Todas as noites, marinheiros saem para pescar, e retornam com o nascer do sol. Como o sol nasce ao leste, bate em direção ao continente, contra a encosta destas falésias, que, devido a terra alaranjada, reflete fortemente, semelhante ao queimar de chamas. Os marinheiros que avistam aquilo de manhã, dizem que se assemelha ao que se imagina uma barreira para o inferno. E isto nomeia o lugar como barreira do inferno. #BarreiraDoInferno #Geology #Beach (em Praia Da Barreira Do Inferno)
Having formed at great depths and only available to us after traveling to the surface of the earth in a lava flow and subsequentially weathering out of their rocky host, Peridot crystals make quite a journey to get to us. Because of this process, Peridot crystals always show some degree of surface wear and will never display the crisp, geometric edges of minerals that can be mined in their primary formation. Despite this geological joy-ride, some Peridot crystals can be found with a distinct crystal form- and this is one of them! A particularly bright green and featuring notable brilliance considering the material, this perfectly petite natural peridot crystal is an attractive and desirable specimen.<br><br>Origin is Pakistan.
